The Game
Lawn bowling is a classic outdoor game (with indoor rinks in many countries) that is easy to learn and fun to play. Two teams of one to four players compete to roll heavy, weighted balls, called bowls, closest to a smaller white (yellow and sometimes pink) jack at the end of a grass-covered 14.5' X 120' rink. Players score points by getting their bowls closer to the jack than their opponents' bowls. It's a great game to play with family and friends and can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
